Famous residents include actor/singer/entrepreneur Edison Chen, actress Bernice Liu and many others. Parts of the walls in Robinson Road have been recently declared as protected monuments. These walls are very old with thick roots embedded in them. Robinson Road has luxury complexes with all the facilities you would expect. There are an amazing number of property agents located along the road.

Nathan Road in Kowloon was, until 1907, also called Robinson Road, but was subsequently renamed to its present name to avoid confusion with its Mid-levels counterpart.
